The driveway shuffle

And the evil dance of winter continues.  Another round of the "driveway shuffle" today.  Believe it or not, another 2 feet of snow fell yesterday.  TWO FEET.......  
So we trade off driveways.  The first one to get plowed out parks on the street until their yard is clear.   Today that was me.  Once my driveway was clear, the neighbor to my left snuck in behind me so they could get their driveway plowed.


Then at supper time, the neighbor to my right snuck in my yard until her driveway was opened.  We are so sick of this crap.  It had drifted so deep this morning I couldn't get either door open.  They were completely blocked and I was trapped.  TRAPPED !! I had to call a guy from work to come here with a shovel and rescue me.  YES, RESCUE ME....  So sad.  Luckily work was closed until noon but it was still nasty out.  Just before 1pm there was a 15 car pile up on the highway at the town border.  Luckily no serious injuries but the highway was closed several hours to clean up. 

People around here are losing their patience with winter.  Things are starting to get silly.  If you have a good sense of humor listen to this little video.  If you live on the east coast, you'll appreciate it.

  1. Spring is on its way, at least on the calendar. I am glad you had someone to call to get you out.
    How nice you take turns in each others driveways.
    I hope you feel better now.

  7. Ours is almost all gone in the yards, streets, etc. Except where it was piled up a couple of feet when they cleared a parking lot. I am so happy. Sorry for you tho.

  9. Oh Kim, not again!!!
    There is hope! Winter is finally over (except for a small 1-3 predicted for Thurs. evening) here in PA. So your spring can't be far away. I thought it was never going to end, but finally we're having some above freezing days.
    So don't give up hope! Hopefully the snow mountains will soon be mole hills.

  10. I'm seriously crying for you right now...I would not be able to survive up there..I though it was bad enough here in Ohio! You are made of hardier stock! I do hope it will stop because I've seen some pics of the weather in the summer where you live and it's beautiful. Hang in there friend...I wish I could send you some warm air to atleast get the snow from your door so you can escape! 2 feet....Lord help you!
